He also fulfilled a lifelong dream by receiving his pilot’s license.
Eugene was always quick to offer everyone guidance, support, or be a copilot for any project or adventure. Not only did he cherish his family, he also relished the stories, laughter, and memories they continually shared and created together. Eugene is survived by his sons Kevin and Colin, as well as Kevin’s wife Jennifer and their 3 kids Olivia, Everett, and Cooper.
The family will be planning a Celebration of Life for Eugene – details are to be determined. Interment will be in Conestoga Memorial Park, Lancaster. Memorial Contributions in Eugene’s memory can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

Hiya, Our family were Gene and Carol’s neighbors from the mid 70s to the late 80s.I was best buds with his son , Kevin growing up 1974 to about 1988 and, as childhood friendships often do, we went our own ways as we grew. Anyway, Gene always invited me to participate in “whatever” at the time and I too, remember his carpantry skills, when repairing something or making a toy or doing a specific project. He made Kevin and Colin race car beds out of wood! They were awesome. Gene and his late wife Carol, were so friendly. Always felt welcome. Gene, you will be missed. No one can fill the gap you leave behind. Thank you for your kindness.

Your Dad was my favorite cousin!! He taught me how to ride a bike when my parents left us with Aunt Ann and Uncle Ed in Wisconsin Rapids. Every time I tried to quit he called me a cream puff. I’m so happy we got to visit with him when he did his road trip. I’ll miss talking to him. Love Pat

I am a neighbor of your dad. He and my late husband met once a month for coffee at our home. He was such a kind man and was a great support when Henry passed away 3 years ago. I will miss our conversations and banter. I am sure he and Henry can now get together and continue their coffee Meetings.
